Esther 9
1 And in the twelfth month—it [is] the month of Adar—on the thirteenth day of it, in which the word of the king, even his law, has come to be done, in the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to rule over them, and it is turned that the Jews rule over those hating them—
Nʼabalị iri na atọ nke ọnwa iri na abụọ, nke bụ ọnwa Ada, bụ ụbọchị a gaara emezu iwu ahụ eze nyere. Nʼụbọchị a, ndị iro ndị Juu lere anya na ha ga-ekpochapụ ha. Ma ugbu a, a tụgharịala iwu ahụ, mee ya ka ọ bụrụ ihe megidere ndị ahụ kpọrọ ndị Juu asị.
2 the Jews have been assembled in their cities, in all provinces of King Ahasuerus, to put forth a hand on those seeking their evil, and no man has stood in their presence, for their fear has fallen on all the peoples.
Ndị Juu chịkọtara onwe ha ọnụ nʼobodo niile dị nʼalaeze eze Sekses, maka ịzọ ndụ ha. Ma o nweghị onye ọbụla pụrụ imegide ha, nʼihi na egwu ha dakwasịrị ndị obodo niile dị iche iche.
3 And all heads of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the governors, and those doing the work that the king has, are lifting up the Jews, for a fear of Mordecai has fallen on them;
Ndịisi ọchịchị obodo niile, ndị na-anọchite anya eze, na ndịisi, na ndị ozi eze, nyeere ndị Juu aka, nʼihi na ha tụrụ egwu Mọdekai.
4 for great [is] Mordecai in the house of the king, and his fame is going into all the provinces, for the man Mordecai is going on and becoming great.
Nʼihi na Mọdekai bụ onye a ma ama nʼụlọeze, ọ bụkwa onye a maara aha ya nʼalaeze ahụ niile, nʼihi na ike ọchịchị ya na-abawanye ụba karịa ụbọchị niile.
5 And the Jews strike among all their enemies—a striking of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction—and do with those hating them according to their pleasure,
Nke a mere, na ndị Juu ji mma agha gbuo, ma bibie ndị iro ha niile. Ha mesoro ndị kpọrọ ha asị mmeso ọbụla masịrị ha.
6 and in Shushan the palace the Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men;
Nʼime obodo ahụ e wusiri ike bụ Susa, ndị Juu gburu narị ndị ikom ise laa ha nʼiyi.
7 and Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
Ha gbukwara Pashandata, Dalfon, Aspata,
8 and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
Porata, Adalia, Aridata,
9 and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
Pamashta, Arisai Aridai na Vaizata,
10 ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, adversary of the Jews, they have slain, and on the prey they have not put forth their hand.
ha bụkwa ụmụ ndị ikom iri Heman nwa Hamedata, onye iro ndị Juu mụtara. Ma ha emetụghị akụnụba ha aka.
11 On that day has come the number of the slain in Shushan the palace before the king,
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, a gwara eze ọnụọgụgụ ndị e gburu nʼobodo Susa.
12 and the king says to Esther the queen, “In Shushan the palace the Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men, and the ten sons of Haman; in the rest of the provinces of the king what have they done? And what [is] your petition? And it is given to you; and what your request again? And it is done.”
Eze sịrị Esta bụ nwunye eze, “Ndị Juu egbuola narị mmadụ ise nʼobodo Susa, gbukwaa ụmụ ndị ikom Heman iri. Ebe ha mere otu a nʼebe a, onye ma ihe ha mere nʼobodo dị iche iche nʼalaeze m? Ugbu a, gịnị ọzọ bụ arịrịọ gị? A ga-emezuru gị ya. Gịnị ọzọ bụ ihe ị chọrọ? A ga-emekwa ya.”
13 And Esther says, “If [it is] good to the king, let it also be given tomorrow, to the Jews who [are] in Shushan, to do according to the law of today; and the ten sons of Haman they hang on the tree.”
Esta sịrị, “Ọ bụrụ na ọ dị eze mma, ka ndị Juu bi na Susa meekwa ihe ha mere taa echi, ka a kwụbakwa ụmụ ndị ikom iri Heman nʼelu osisi.”
14 And the king commands [for it] to be done so; and a law is given in Shushan, and they have hanged the ten sons of Haman.
Ya mere, eze kwenyere, a kụkwara ya dịka ekwe na Susa, a kwụbara ụmụ iri Heman nʼelu osisi.
15 And the Jews who [are] in Shushan are also assembled on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and they slay three hundred men in Shushan, and they have not put forth their hand on the prey.
Ndị Juu bi na Susa chịkọtakwara onwe ha ọnụ nʼụbọchị iri na anọ nke ọnwa Ada, gbuo narị mmadụ atọ ọzọ nʼobodo Susa. Ma ha emetụghị akụnụba ndị ahụ aka.
16 And the rest of the Jews, who [are] in the provinces of the king, have been assembled, even to stand for their life, and to rest from their enemies, and to slay seventy-five thousand among those hating them, and they have not put forth their hand on the prey;
Ma ndị Juu ndị ọzọ bi nʼobodo ndị ọzọ dị iche iche eze na-achị, jikọtakwara onwe ha ọnụ ịzọ ndụ ha, site otu a nwere onwe ha pụọ nʼaka ndị iro ha. Ha gburu iri puku mmadụ asaa na ise bụ ndị kpọrọ ha asị, ma ha emetụghị akụnụba ha aka.
17 on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, even to rest on the fourteenth of it, and to make it a day of banquet and of joy.
E mere ihe ndị a nʼabalị iri na atọ nke ọnwa Ada, ha zukwara ike nʼụbọchị so ya bụ abalị iri na anọ. Ha mere ụbọchị ahụ, ụbọchị ọṅụ na nke oriri na ọṅụṅụ.
18 And the Jews who [are] in Shushan have been assembled, on the thirteenth day of it, and on the fourteenth of it, even to rest on the fifteenth of it, and to make it a day of banquet and of joy.
Ma ndị Juu nọ na Susa zukọtara nʼụbọchị nke iri na atọ, na nʼụbọchị nke iri na anọ. Emesịa, nʼụbọchị nke iri na ise ha zuru ike, mekwa ya ụbọchị ọṅụ na nke oriri na ọṅụṅụ.
19 Therefore the Jews of the open places, who are dwelling in cities of the open places, are making the fourteenth day of the month of Adar—joy and banquet, and a good day, and of sending portions to one another.
Ọ bụ nke a mere ndị Juu niile bi nʼime ime obodo ji eme mmemme ọṅụ na nke oriri na ọṅụṅụ nʼabalị iri na anọ nke ọnwa iri na abụọ nke afọ ọbụla. Ha mere ụbọchị ahụ ka ọ bụrụkwa ụbọchị inyerịta onyinye.
20 And Mordecai writes these things, and sends letters to all the Jews who [are] in all provinces of King Ahasuerus, who are near and who are far off,
Emesịa, Mọdekai dere ihe ndị a niile nʼakwụkwọ, zigakwara ndị Juu niile nọ nʼokpuru ọchịchị eze Sekses, ma ndị nọ nso ma ndị nọ nʼebe dị anya,
21 to establish on them, to be keeping the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and the fifteenth day of it, in every year and year,
ka ha na-eme mmemme a kwa afọ nʼụbọchị nke iri na anọ na nke iri na ise nke ọnwa Ada ọbụla.
22 as days on which the Jews have rested from their enemies, and the month that has been turned to them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning to a good day, to make them days of banquet and of joy, and of sending portions to one another, and gifts to the needy.
Nke a bụ iji gosi mgbe ndị Juu nweere onwe ha site nʼaka ndị iro ha, na iji cheta mgbe iru ụjụ ha ghọrọ ọṅụ, na mgbe ịkwa akwa ha ghọrọ ụbọchị mmemme ọṅụ. O deere ha ka ha debe ụbọchị ndị a dịka ụbọchị mmemme ọṅụ na oriri na ọṅụṅụ, na inyerịta onwe ha onyinye ihe oriri na inye ụmụ ogbenye onyinye dị iche iche.
23 And the Jews have received that which they had begun to do, and that which Mordecai has written to them,
Ya mere, ndị Juu kwenyere ịga nʼihu ime mmemme a nke ha malitere ime, dịka Mọdekai si deere ha ya,
24 because Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, adversary of all the Jews, had devised concerning the Jews to destroy them, and had caused to fall Pur—that [is] the lot—to crush them and to destroy them;
nʼihi na Heman nwa Hamedata, onye Agag, onye iro ndị Juu niile, kpebiri ịla ha nʼiyi nʼụbọchị ahụ ọ tụpụtara site nʼife nza.
25 and in her coming in before the king, he commanded with the letter, “Let his evil scheme that he devised against the Jews return on his own head,” and they have hanged him and his sons on the tree,
Mgbe izu ọjọọ a ruru eze ntị, o nyere iwu nke e debanyere nʼakwụkwọ sị, ka echiche ọjọọ nke Heman megide ndị Juu tụgharịa nʼisi ya, ọ kwukwara ka akwụgbuo ya na ụmụ ndị ikom niile nʼelu osisi.
26 therefore they have called these days Purim—by the name of the lot—therefore, because of all the words of this letter, and what they have seen concerning this, and what has come to them,
Ya mere, a kpọrọ ụbọchị ndị ahụ Purim nke sitere na mkpụrụ okwu Pur. Nʼihi ihe niile e dere nʼakwụkwọ ahụ na nke ha hụkwara na nke mekwaara ha.
27 the Jews have established and received on them, and on their seed, and on all those joined to them, and it does not pass away, to be keeping these two days according to their writing, and according to their season, in every year and year;
Ndị Juu niile kwekọrịtara idebe mmemme a, na imekwa ka ụmụ ha, na ndị niile kwenyere iso ha, na-emekwa ya. Ha kpebiri na ha ga-edebe ụbọchị abụọ ndị ahụ kwa afọ, nʼụzọ nakwa oge e zubere ka ọ bụrụ.
28 and these days are remembered and kept in every generation and generation, family and family, province and province, and city and city, and these days of Purim do not pass away from the midst of the Jews, and their memorial is not ended from their seed.
Aga na-echeta ụbọchị ndị a, na-eme kwa ya nʼọgbọ niile ọbụla, nʼezinaụlọ ọbụla, nʼala ọbụla a na-achị nakwa obodo ọbụla. Ndị Juu aghaghị idebe mmemme ụbọchị Purim, ma ọ bụkwanụ ncheta ụbọchị ndị a apụọ nʼobi ọgbọ ha niile.
29 And Esther the queen, daughter of Abihail, writes, and Mordecai the Jew, with all might, to establish this second letter of Purim,
Nʼoge a, Esta nwunye eze, nwa Abihail, na Mọdekai onye Juu jikọtara aka dee akwụkwọ ọzọ nke e ji mesie akwụkwọ ahụ Mọdekai dere ike, maka ịmalite mmemme Purim.
30 and he sends letters to all the Jews, to the one hundred twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus—words of peace and truth—
Mọdekai zipụrụ akwụkwọ ozi nke okwu udo na eziokwu dị nʼime ya, nye ndị Juu niile bi nʼime mpaghara alaeze Sekses, nke dị otu narị na iri abụọ na asaa.
31 to establish these days of Purim, in their seasons, as Mordecai the Jew has established on them, and Esther the queen, and as they had established on themselves, and on their seed—matters of the fastings, and of their cry.
E ji akwụkwọ a mesie okwu ahụ ike na a ga-edebe ụbọchị ndị ahụ kwa afọ maka mmemme Purim dịka Mọdekai onye Juu na Esta nwunye eze nyere nʼiwu. Ndị Juu niile na ụmụ ụmụ ha ga-eme mmemme a nʼoge a kara aka, dịka ha si edebe iwu ndị ọzọ metụtara oge ibu ọnụ na oge iru ụjụ.
32 And a saying of Esther has established these matters of Purim, and it is written in the Scroll.
Iwu a Esta nyere mesịrị ụkpụrụ mmemme Purim ike. E dekwara ya nʼakwụkwọ.
